Control Actuation Forces: handwheel
MIL-STD-1472F control actuation force and displacement requirements — min/max resistance (N) and displacement (mm or degrees) for every control type by hand condition (bare/gloved/heavy handwear/foot). Covers pushbuttons, foot switches, keyboards, toggle switches, legend switches, rocker switches, levers, isotonic joysticks, pedals, mouse buttons, and handwheels per Section 5.4 Figures 12-21 and Tables IX, X, XII.
| control type | record id | hand condition | notes | parameter | unit imperial | unit metric | value max imperial (lb, oz, or in (see unit_imperial)) | value max metric (N or mm or deg (see unit_metric)) | value min imperial (lb, oz, or in (see unit_imperial)) | value min metric (N or mm or deg (see unit_metric)) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| handwheel | handwheel_bare_diameter | bare_hand | Two-hand operated; diameter per Table IX | diameter | in | mm | 20.7 | 525 | 7 | 180 |
| handwheel | handwheel_bare_resistance_breakout | bare_hand | Breakout force; light to heavy loads; per Table IX | resistance | lb | N | 20 | 89 | 5 | 22 |
| handwheel | handwheel_bare_resistance_sustained | bare_hand | Sustained rotational force; per Table IX | resistance | lb | N | 30 | 133 | 10 | 44 |
